Happy to give 5 stars across the board! After a disappointing experience the night before (elsewhere), we found this gem! From the moment we got there, our needs were anticipated and we were treated like VIPs. The menu is amazing, and our craving for good fish was definitely quenched! Lovely for date night or just a treat! Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person R 300–350 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Fish

Previous to my earlier review, I have changed my rating. I'm not sure if there is new management or staff, but Ginger has taken a step backwards. It is looking old and tired. I ordered tempura prawns. They were more like soggy prawns. Not great. The line fish was grilled gurnard. Came out battered gurnard served on a bed of oily veggies. Terrible. The restaurant was empty. I can understand why. Service was seriously lacking, even though it was not full. Paying the prices one is charged, one would expect a "fine" dining experience. This was not the case. Personally I would rather spend my money somewhere else. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 3

Always a lovely experience at Ginger. The service is great. With a warm welcome at the door. Booking in advance is preferred to get the good seats in the restaurant. The service is good. The food also good. I have never had a miss. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person R 450–500 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes Crepes Zuzette

I really wish I had a chance to eat here again, but that one time was memorable. The food was just top notch and the classic aesthetic inside was a lovely mood setter. In short, great place for couples although I was there with a group. I had the risotto starter followed by the grilled salmon. Top notch to the extent of asking to thank the chef in person. Keep it up! Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person R 250–300

I have never received such incredible service before. The waiters are well trained, respectful and dressed in uniform. The atmosphere is so elegant and relaxing. There is outdoor and indoor seating that overlooks the ocean. Tables are dressed with candles, flowers, tablecloths and all the cutlery you need. The menu is unique and adventurous. Starters all range from R140 but they are so worth it. You get complimentary sides while you wait in between courses. I ordered the lamb shank which was a bit salty but the sauce and vegetables were incredibly delicious. Our dessert was also amazing and looked like it had been sculpted by an artist. In fact, Every course was beautiful and artistic. The drinks are divine and dressed with edible flowers. Our total for the evening was R1500 and it was worth every penny. We sat for about 3 hours and I enjoyed every minute of it. You must go here!! This might just be the best restaurant I've ever been to.

Came here for Valentine’s Day with my hubby. Service was 10/10 as usual and the touch of a rose at the end of the night was a lovely. Barman also very good as I enjoyed a lovely martini. But what has gone on with your food ??? This is not the ginger I know. I have been here many a Valentine’s Day and this is not what I am used to from you. The oyster starter was okay but not mind -blowing, and the mains - the beef was over cooked and hard to eat. The best thing was the dessert. For the price of the meal we could have had a much better experience somewhere else. Please Ginger this is not fine -dining. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person R 500+
